WHY ENDERMOLOGIE® ?
First of all, to reduce and to treat cellulite. With cellulite, fat is stored in dermal cells called “adipocytes”. Because of their engorgement, the adipocytes distend the connective tissue, thus creating the characteristic “dimpled” appearance. This has the effect of impairing blood and lymphatic circulation. Cellulite constricts the conjunctive tissue and the latter becomes increasingly compact.



The device used during Endermologie® treatments combines non-invasive vacuum suction with the “lift and roll” action of two motorized rollers in order to dislodge blocked fat. It also helps the adipocytes to drain their reserves and unblocks the circulation by stimulating abundant flows of blood and oxygen to the constricted tissues.

Such action accelerates the draining of stagnant toxins and smoothes the skin’s surface by softening the connective tissue. This will gradually reduce fibrosis and the appearance of cellulite. The skin will be more supple and toned, and dieting will produce fast visible results.

In addition to this, Endermologie® will produce beneficial effects for the whole body. Endermologie® helps to reduce the dilation of capillaries (resulting from a local circulatory problem), to relieve sensations of heaviness in the legs, as well as to treat fat ankles, fat bellies, and double chins. Its action is also effective against stretch marks and scars.

ENDERMOLOGIE®, FOR WHOM?
Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of Endermologie®. Men particularly benefit from Endermologie® as a detoxifying massage, as a remedy against stress and anxiety, and as a treatment applied to the abdomen and love handles..

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Ideally, one must plan for about fifteen 40-minute sessions, at a rate of two sessions per week. After this initial treatment period (which has a 95% success rate), only a monthly session will be required to ensure lasting benefits.

FAST VISIBLE RESULTS
After only a few sessions, the skin will appear less dimpled. With the stimulating action of this deep massage on the elastic fibres, the skin will soon recover its firmness. After only a few sessions, superficial fat thickening the waist, the belly, the hips and the thighs will melt away.

More difficult to treat, however, are the deeply settled highly localised and sensitive dimples, as well as cellulite stemming from serious venous problems. Treatments using the Cellu M6® device can also result in weight loss, since the body is stimulated into eliminating excess fat. A balanced diet and some physical activity improve the performance of this technique. It is essential to consult a specialist who is well trained in this method and in all of its subtleties.

HISTORY OF ENDERMOLOGIE®
In the early 80s, the LPG Systems Company developed a revolutionary technique for treating scars and burns. The treatment proved to be formidable against fat and cellulite. LPG Systems developed a complex motorised “lift and roll” technique called Endermologie®. Using two motorised rollers combined with the application of controlled vacuum suction, this non-surgical method enables to create a skin fold and to gently manipulate the skin and subcutaneous fat.

Endermologie® stimulates circulatory exchanges, helps to eliminate toxins and unblocks the constricted zones responsible for cellulite. By its stimulating action, Endermologie® treats subcutaneous fat deposits, improves tissue quality and harmonises the body’s shape and contours. In addition to reducing the appearance of cellulite, this technique also has anti-aging effects on the tissues.

Now practised in over 80 countries, Endermologie® has been the object of several international studies. Endermologie® has scientifically demonstrated its effectiveness for the treatment of cellulite and for improving skin quality. It is the first treatment to be recognised in the United States by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and in Europe by the French Health Products Safety Agency.

THE “LIFT AND ROLL” TECHNIQUE, THE SOLE EFFECTIVE METHODE
In order to drain fat from the hypodermis, it is necessary to reactivate exchanges at the cellular level. Only the “lift and roll” technique produces tangible results. The technique consists in grasping a fold of skin and rolling it in a wave-like movement. It is, however, difficult to perform manually, hence the idea of substituting the human hand for a machine, thus creating a new technique: Endermologie®.

In order to reproduce this wave-like movement without pinching or tugging the skin, the Cellu M6® device is equipped with two motorized rollers, combined with a non-invasive vacuum suction system. This enables the practioner to perform a controlled massage which will stimulate cellular exchanges, accelerate the elimination of cell waste and dislodge blocked fat.
